[diary]: 親情‧可貴

每當朋友知道我是家中獨女的時候，都會語帶羨慕的說...."你就好了，爸爸媽媽定是很寵你呢!"....但是，我郤由小至大都很想有一個家姐或哥哥，作個伴兒。由於爸爸媽媽在他們的兄弟姊妹中也是排行最大，所以我小時候也没有年齡相近的表堂親戚。至於算到最近的，便是我相差四年的表弟了。在我童年回憶裡，都有著零零碎碎的和他玩耍的片段。不過，很可惜他在四歲時已移民到澳洲了。雖然如此，我記得十多歲的時候我們一家曾到澳洲住了一個月多，那時候和他玩了很多無聊的玩意，到現在我還記得。之後，展轉地他們一家幾年才回一回來。記得上次已經是四年前的事，而且逗留不久就要走。今趟他們住在我家一星期多，終於有多些時間接觸。雖然大家已經長大了，不似得以前一樣玩那些無聊玩意。但親人還是親人罷，感覺仍是很親切的。加上自己又没有其他更親的兄弟姊妹，所以感覺特別珍貴。今次一別，不知要隔多久才會再會呢?

四年前

[diary]: 節省能源

I receive a circular Today at office about saving energy by switching off the monitors when unuse. I think it is quite good, let's follow! (Actually, most people (me also) doesn't shut down the computer even at day end. This is definitely a lazy, selfish and shortsighted act.

Dear Sir or Madam,

Re: HSBC Centre Energy Awareness

As part of our on-going commitment to reduce energy in HSBC Centre, we invite all Building Users to help us improve energy efficiency practices within the building.

At present, the majority of staff shut their computers down when going off duty but very few switch their monitors off during the day when they are not using them. Most people use screen savers, however, these do not save energy.

During a recent exercise where we tested several 15” and 17” LCD and CRT monitors, the results showed that 8 to 15 % of energy is still consumed when the PC is set to energy saving stand by mode. Electricity consumption for computers during normal working conditions and set to screen saver mode is the same.

In HSBC Centre, based on the assumption of 5,000 plus monitors, a saving of 300 kWh or 110,000 kWh per annum could be achieved if all monitors were switched off by an extra hour a day. This equates to a reduction of 61.38 tonnes of CO2 emissions per annum.

Clearly, we could save energy and reduce CO2 emissions if everyone shuts their computers down when not using them. Often, there are times during the day, when we do not use the computer for a while (e.g. at lunch time or during meetings). It is good practise to switch off the monitor during these periods. When equipment powers down, it generates less heat, collects less dust and reduces mechanical stress, promoting a longer and more reliable life for the computer and monitor.

There are many ways you can be environmentally friendly in your work place. Try to practise this and help conserve our environment.

Yours faithfully,

[diary]: finish? it's the beginning......

Finally, my first course is over and I had produced my first art work. I admit that it has been a hard time for me as I couldn't come up an idea until the last minute. Although I am not very satisfied with my final work, I think I have gained a lot throughout the course. Thanks very much to my teacher Miss Leung Mee Ping(梁美萍) as I feel that she really loves arts very much and has the "heart" to teach us. She gives us different dimensions to appreciate arts and her comments are very accurate. She said that my work was little bit much towards the "Design" perspective, I will remember it and alert myself.....anyway, it is just the end of my first course....and more exciting ones are coming!

加快腳步?
向來也覺得自己是個"心急"的人，做甚麼事也是很趕緊似的。自從上了這課程後，便開始發覺原來自己的性格或多或少是因為受到香港城市文化的影響。

香港，向來也是以速度見稱，以快為先的城市特質隨處可見。行人匆匆、快食文化、追捧潮流如"長金熱"，商鋪起了又拆，拆了又換。最近，香港旅遊協會更以"動感之都"來宣傳香港。在這個分秒必爭的都市裡，速度一方面增添了城市的效率與活力，另一方面也使活在城市中的人不知不覺產生一種"做甚麼也要快"的生活態度。究竟，快是否就代表美好?當一些生活習慣和行為被迫加快速度的時候，你又會覺得怎樣?

[diary]: I dun wanna give up

已經好久没有post過message，因為實在没有心情。我好想做好這個fine arts project，但是越想做好，越是想不通，做不好。其實我自問也放了很多心機去構思，然而日子一日一日的過去，也是原地踏步。每上完一節課，也好像學到多了，開始懂得欣賞別人的作品。但到自己要做的時候，卻總是力不從心，一時似是有好多東西靈光一閃，而想深一層又是通通行不通。

原本上星期五己是final presentation，我在最後以為有一個idea是可以了，但被miss批評完後，她說我可以再想想下星期再present。當然我大可不理，但心裡總是不舒服，也不服氣。没理由連一件work也想不到的!!!於是我繼續想，但到今天結果還是一樣。我開始想放棄......是題目太難嗎?是我没有天份嗎?.....我不想用這些藉口去放棄......我很想繼續想，但時日已無多......
